Amplify API get request example for listing all items throws an error

I followed all the steps in the official doc and when used the code in the example as below replacing the API name and path, it doesn’t return the list, instead it throws 404 error. I haven’t made any manual changes in the API or related Lambda function.

async getData() { 
    let apiName = 'MyApiName';
    let path = '/path';
    let myInit = { // OPTIONAL
        headers: {} // OPTIONAL
    }
    return await API.get(apiName, path, myInit);
}

getData();

But, if I pass an id of an existing record with the same request, it returns the object.

Ex.

async getData() { 
    let apiName = 'MyApiName';
    let path = '/path/<id>';
    let myInit = { // OPTIONAL
        headers: {} // OPTIONAL
    }
    return await API.get(apiName, path, myInit);
}

getData();

Is there a different way of loading all items?

Actually, I found out that it is required to add my own get method to scan the database. Added the following function in the app.js file of the Lambda Function. IT IS REQUIRED TO ADD THIS FUNCTION ABOVE OTHER get FUNCTIONS.

app.get('/<YOUR_PATH>', function (req, res) {
  var params = {
    TableName: tableName,
    Select: 'ALL_ATTRIBUTES',
  };
  dynamodb.scan(params, (err, data) => {
    if (err) {
      res.json({ error: 'Could not load items: ' + err.message });
    }
    res.json({
      data: data.Items.map(item => {
        return item;
      })
    });
  });

Why is the issue is closed. The behavior is still present. I can’t get a collection of items without the fix which is described in this thread.
